When Sweet Brown burst onto the scene with her iconic phrase, “Ain’t nobody got time for that,” she captured the hearts of many. As a parent, that saying echoes in my mind throughout the chaos of daily life. So, here’s my take on 30 things that no mom has time for:
- Singing “Happy Birthday” twice while washing hands. By the time I’m done, my kid is already halfway through the cereal aisle!
- Shopping trips. Forget leisurely browsing; thank goodness for the convenience of Amazon.com.
- A 90-minute Bikram yoga class? No thanks, I’ll pass.
- Spending time blow-drying the back of my hair. Seriously, who even looks back there?
- Clipping tiny nails. Until they end up with scratches on their faces, I’ll just ignore it.
- Massages. Would be nice, but who has the time?
- Visiting Costco during the holidays. Absolutely not!
- Oil changes? I’ll deal with it once the light comes on.
- Getting socks on a toddler. Is there anything more time-consuming?
- Speeding tickets. We were in a hurry for a reason, right?
- Trying on clothes. Those days are long gone!
- Small talk at school. Just get to the point, please!
- Getting sick. Moms can’t afford to be sick; who has time for that?
- Watching TV while lounging? More like folding laundry and meal prepping.
- Hangovers. Kids don’t care about your headache; they want milk NOW!
- Drama. Before kids, it was fun, but now? Ain’t nobody got time for that.
- Anything labeled “gourmet” or “from scratch.”
- Sewing. Let’s just say my home-economics class didn’t prepare me for this.
- Cleaning the car. What’s the point, really?
- Organizing photo albums. We take pictures, but who has time to sort them?
- Makeup? Just to wash it off later? Not happening.
- Waxing. We’ve all had that moment when we notice a rogue hair.
- Parent-teacher conferences in preschool. He’s great with crayons? Got it.
- Marathon training. Three hours of running when I could be sleeping? No way!
- Bento boxes. Ain’t nobody got time for fancy lunches.
- Jury duty. Can’t there be a mom exemption?
- Car trouble. Just shoot me now!
- Phone issues. Honestly, I’d rather deal with car problems.
- Boo-boos. When they’re little, we fuss; as they grow, it’s a quick Band-Aid.
- Intimacy. Nuff said.
